This comment very much resonates with me. been distro hopping for a while, with ubuntu, arch, debian, and nix. fedora has been very awesomely boring, with the caveats mentioned above.

codecs were confusing at first, just like flatpaks.

in just one way my personal preferences differ here. i love using podman and always try using that first, and only then switch to docker if necessary. i also use fedora on my work laptop, and was surprised how many more steps it took for my colleagues to get podman running well. (still more enjoyable than docker imo)

as much as i love nvim and understand people who love emacs, there are people who want that big gui thing. for those i’d recommend VSCodium if they feel like they really can’t live without VSCode or Gram for those who got to like Zed.

ZMK does wireless and wired, with a focus on wireless, whilst QMK has its focus on wired and i’m not sure whether it does wireless.

I got two Aurora Sofle (shoutout to splitkb for having good products and customer service) one wired with qmk (and MX switches) and one wireless with zmk (and kailh switches). Both work very well, but i’ve found that I prefer kailh switches over MX.

QMK is also used by folks like Keychron for their wired keyboards, and for gui focussed ppl it’s configurable via the browser app „via“.

I‘m sure there’s a good way to do this on the OS side, but I‘m doing it in ZMK/ QMK.

Imma throw another option into the ring which is Caps lock -> Esc / Ctrl. it‘s esc when tapped and ctrl when combined/ held for longer. veeeery useful

my work client cancels the new mail without there being a draft, though that may be because of muscle memory pressing a key combo after esc. its major pain o7

I‘ve heard that graphene ships with the vanadium browser per default. how does that compare to Ironfox? i‘m somewhat surprised that graphene doesn’t go with what so many ppl recommend?

a foss project on codeberg and the fediverse, but it comes with ai integration instead of vim mode. tough times.

Now i‘m not sure about cats, but for dogs i’ve seen them cost a lot, even in the first year, and even if you don’t consider adoption. between taxes, health insurance, and equipment you gotta get, you can spend a lot of money very quickly. ofc you can also go with the cheapest options, but then sth stupid happens and your dog has a 4k trip to the vet in year two, and insurance won’t cover shit.

tldr: I’ve seen dogs get very expensive very quickly.

Agreed, i should also be trying zellij, but my tmux is so well configured (for my) and dracula-tmux has everything i’d want, so it’d be hard to leave that behind for a not otherwise specified benefit. speed i guess?

considering that she’s using debian, i feel like she’s also living the peaceful life of not always chasing the latest shiny new tool, if the one she’s got is working well.

I love how you keep making this joke mr. cunningham.

Maybe…

yeah, fair, i was just trying to say that the other comments point at this being ai generated.

that is because, telling from the other comments, this is most likely ai generated…

they wanna own their infra i guess. not being dependent is a good thing for a gov, and in choosing forgejo they’re basically choosing codeberg after all.

interesting, when reading this article a while back, it sounded like av1 was pretty good at preserving grain, the best even.

am wondering whether it comes down to the settings used.

i really don’t get it either. i feel like op tends to write well researched and thought out blogs, which are nice to read too.

@op: you do good stuff!

they even have a blog post telling you to never click domains that look like the domain of the blog :D

i’m running xattr -c all day every day to get my foss goodness running

i was not advocating for this UP phone in any way and am sorry if it seemed that way. my next phone will indeed be running on GrapheneOS.

I was just trying to point out that using third party vpn infrastructure can make sense, even though i wouldn’t trust the vpn of UP in any way. trust is a difficult thing, but as of right now i’m liking mullvad.
